it's exactly like one turn of a wankel, but it's a magazine fed revolver.

The Dardick operates as a double-action revolver in that a single pull on the trigger brings the hammer to the cocked position, rotates the cylinder bringing a round ( or "Tround") into position under the hammer and releases the hammer to fire a cartridge. It differs from the revolver in having a magazine in the butt and open-topped chambers in the cylinder. As the cylinder rotates, with each pull of the trigger one of the open-topped chambers picks up a fresh cartridge from the magazine, another positions a cartridge under the hammer for firing while another allows a previously fired cartridge case to fall from the open right side of the pistol.

I was on a thread about the worst guns you had fired, and the big calibres were mentioned, especially in ultralight frames.Surprisingly a number of blowback 380s were mentioned.This was right before the Keltec came out apparently.

The 50AE Desert Eagle was mentioned, not for recoil, but for routinely hitting you hard in the head with shells.

I had been looking for the grade of 1/4" plate used by one company hardening cars.I found a reference to use of AR500.Chapel calls it abrasion resistant and offers a specific ballistic series also.Quarter inch is supposed to stop 308.

[quote="gyre"]While this device may not look like a weapon, it is actually quite deadly. Hidden behind walls and ceilings to blend with the architecture, it shoots 15 shotgun shells when activated.

The weapon can be deployed remotely, and requires a series of authentications before it can fire.

I can do the same thing with a muzzleloading 2 gauge shotgun.

Too big?

Colt made a double-barrel 8-gauge at one time. The 8-gauge was popular during the Civil War, and was what Viggo Mortenson carried in the movie 'Appaloosa', based on the Robert Parker novel. It does the job.

You know, I've had the weirdest deja vu for a long time ...Finally pinned it down.

I was at a house and they had this tiny dog, about the size of a kitten.Too small to even be annoying.Bounced up and down, followed everyone around, bug-eyed, mouth open, bounce, bounce, bounce.Couldn't even outrun you.

I recall hearing about this device, which was a set of shotgun barrels mounted so that they formed a sort of flower on the roof of a vehicle, with the breeches in the middle, muzzles pointing outward.In the roof of the vehicle, was simply a little crank, one time around which would fire the shotguns, leaving the surroundings quite quiet afterward.
